Paying people online who are basically untouchable legally is very, very
scary. I have been burned for $3,000 for graphics work, for example. The
problem is simple: just like online people will say very aggressive
things to others that they wouldn't dare say to their face, sometimes
people represent themselves as knowing how to do work AND deliver it
ontime, and this turns out to be false. Someone mentioned escrow, and
yes, that helps, ut it still is your word against the other's.

I learned (for $3k) that you want a written contract that describes the
work to be done, deliverables, and the delivery date, and you want to
register this with the escrow. http://guru.com is one. You want people
with references and evaluations posted by clients. All this is available
 on Guru and others. Unfortunately, even this doesn't guarantee you
won't be ripped off!

I have since mostly had work done by people I can meet and possibly go
visit, even if it's far away. The possiblity you can reach them
physically helps forge a more honest relationship. Sorry to be cynical,
but I'm afraid it's true.
